Delayed Coking Initiative
Abstract
Fluor understands the crude oil market and has developed differentials for delayed coking, fluid coking and flexicoking to meet clients' market demands. Fluor's Delayed Coking Initiative focuses on the standardization to the maximum extent on drum metallurgy, drum diameters and drum thickness with a focus on the following key areas:
Licensors
Fluor's detailed design engineering
Clad plate manufacturers (plate sizes and thicknesses)
Coke drum fabricators
Client Benefits
Processing heavy crudes draws significant economic benefits from delayed coking when heavy/light crude price differentials are high. Fluor understands clients' market demands and can adjust design accordingly to facilitate supply chain efficiency, boosting cost and schedule certainty and outcome.
Fluor experts are acutely aware of the importance of the efficient coke drum deliveries to site and one of the primary objectives in Fluor's Delayed Coking Initiative is to supply coke drums with significantly shorter deliveries so clients can start-up units in shorter time spans.
